Doesn’t anyone want to change this system?

A resolution was proposed at the end of the decade calling for the direct election of the President and Vice President, with a run-off being required when none of the candidates received more than 40% of the vote.

It actually passed the House in 1969, but failed when it was put before the Senate.

Nothing has really come close to reforming the system since. However, we have a feeling this election could change that.
